Day 197: Your Song by Elton John
Yep time for some more Elton John. I think this is one of his most prettiest songs and this clip is recorded before his voice was destroyed by singer’s node in the 80s.

Covid Island Discs
Day 196: Learning to fly, Pink Floyd
This song is from Pink Floyd post Roger Waters. It comes from their Momentary lapse of reason album which I really think is a brilliant album and showed that the band was still able to produce rock and roll classics after the departure of RW. I will probably post at least one other song from

“and Harry doesn’t mind, if he doesn’t make the scene. He’s got a day time job he’s doing alright.”

Day 194: Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
Since our theme appears to be mega rock and roll classics, I guess this song is long overdue at making its appearance on Covid Island Discs.

Day 190: Calling Occupants of interplanetary Craft, The Carpenters
I think Karen Carpenter had one of the most unique voices of any female singer. This is one of the most interesting songs the Carpenters produced. Again another tragic figure who lost the battle with the mental health issue of anorexia nervosa. RIP Karen.

Day 189: Whatever, Oasis
I must confess I only half like Oasis, however, given I’m currently sharing Manchester bands and groups whose members are local to me, it can’t get much closer than Oasis who were born and bread in Burnage, the suburb of Manchester where I now live. Sadly Noel and Liam Gallagher are not particularly functional people

Day 188: True Faith, New Order
Yesterday I shared a hit from Joy Division. As mentioned in yesterday’s post, after Ian Curtis committed suicide the remaining band members formed the band New Order. This is probably their best known hit. Now I have lived more than half my life in Manchester, I guess bands that were home grown in Salford are
